Being an artist at romance does not require so much
a sentimental and emotional nature as it requires a thoughtful nature.
When we think of the romantic things, we think of events that occur because
someone made a choice to love. A man stops off at a florist and brings
his wife a single rose in the evening, a girl makes her lover a lemon pie
with just the degree of tartness he likes, a wife makes arrangements for
her husband to take the caribou hunting trip he thought he'd never afford
these are not the goo of sweet emotion, they are the stuff that comes from
resolution and determination, and they are strong mortar.
Author-Alan Loy McGinnis
Romance is so much more than the giving of gifts. Romance
thrives in beautiful, quiet settings like the garden, where there is time
to enjoy one another away from everyday distractions. Talking quietly,
breathing in the achingly beautiful fragrance of the earth the excitement
of being near one another mingles with the comfort of feeling safe and
cherished.
Author-Emilie Barnes
All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less
than a single lovely action.
Author-James Russell Lowell
You will find, as you look back upon your life, that
the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are
the moments when you have done things in the spirit of Love.
Author-Henry Drummond
The quiet thoughts of two people a long time in love,
touch lightly like birds nesting in each other's warmth. You will know
them by their laughter, but to each other they speak mostly through their
solitude. If they find themselves apart they may dream of sitting undisturbed
in each other's presence of wrapping themselves warmly in each other's
ease.
Author-Hugh Prather
Love seeks one thing: the good of the one loved. It
leaves all secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore,
is it's own reward.
Author-Thomas Merton
Love is what you've been through with somebody.
Author-James Thurber
Sweet thoughts, kind whispers, a listening ear, and
a helping hand these are the things that speak your beloved's language.
No special setting can take the place of word and deed given from the heart.
Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of
those who travel the way with us. O' be swift to love! Make haste to be
kind.
Author-Henri F. Amiel
To renounce your individuality, to see with anothers
eyes, to hear with anothers ears, to be two and yet but one, to so melt
and mingle that you no longer know you are you or another, to constantly
absorb and constantly radiate, to reduce earth, sea and sky and all that
is in them to a single being so wholly that nothing whatever is withheld,
to be prepared at any moment for sacrifice, to double your personality
in bestowing it that is love.
Author-Theophile Gautier
Love means to commit yourself without guarantee, to
give yourself completely in the hope that your love will produce love in
the loved person. Love is an act of faith. I have never been rich before,
but you have poured into my heart's high door, a golden hoard. I took no
greater prize than your soft voice. The steadiness of your eyes, is my
heart's choice.
